Cellulite Exercises
Finding the best exercise to get rid of cellulite is really a matter of trial and error. There are a number of excellent work out routines and movements that will certainly lead to an improvement in the appearance of your thighs, buttocks and other areas, but exercise alone does not usually clear up cellulite 100%.
With that said, you should certainly give it your best shot and make fitness a part of your daily life.
So which cellulite exercises should you focus on? I’ve come up with a short list to start you off:
1. Squats
Leg squats are one of the best exercises in the world. They strengthen your thighs and hamstrings and this is a major cellulite problem area as you probably know!
You can squat without using weights, but for best results get a barbell and some light weights on it. Then use the weights to put resistance on your legs as you lift it – be careful not to strain your back.
2. Leg Lifts
Lay on the floor your side with your legs straight on top of each other. Then lift the top leg up as high as you can (keeping it very straight) then lower it. For better results, get some ankle weights that you can tie to your ankles. This will increase resistance and thus make you work harder: resulting in more fat loss.
The goal here is to replace fat with muscle. You don’t get cellulite where muscle is present so the more fat you lose, the greater the chance that your cellulite will disappear.
Remember, if you are not used to exercising then just start slowly and work your way up. Each day you can do a little more and increase your intensity over time. You will certainly start to see some weight loss and an improvement in the appearance of your cellulite areas if you stick to your fitness routine.
